>simple leave it as miles because if you are in a miles country no one is converting it to km or vice versa.

Maybe true in a miles country, I'm not sure.

However, so much stuff posted on the internet just assumes you are from the states, so they use imperial measurements only, and most of the rest of the world does need to do these conversions. I'm converting on an almost daily basis.

It's a minor peeve of mine that many people assume English means miles and pounds, when there are millions of tourists etc reading the English signs who want the original, metric measurements.
